1.2. “Contributor” means any party that develops a Contribution to the Software and includes, but is not limited to, xTuple and you.

1.3. “xTuple” means OpenMFG, LLC, d/b/a “xTuple,” a Virginia limited liability company and owner of the Software.

1.4. “Software” means the xTuple ERP Suite, ______________________ Edition, the xTupleCommerce website, and/or xTuple Packages (specify: __________________________) which are loaded into the xTuple ERP Suite, including all accompanying tools and documentation, and any Contributions added to the xTuple Software, tools, or documentation.

2. Rights Granted. xTuple licenses you to do the following with the Software:

2.1. Copy, install, and modify the source code version of the Software;

2.2. Use the Software for your own internal business purposes as an end-user of the Software.

This license is worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual or annual, depending on the license fee paid, (unless terminated for breach), and non-transferable.

3. License and Maintenance Fees.

3.1. Number of Users. This license is for ______ concurrent users of the Software, and is licensed under either an Annual License or a Perpetual License (as defined below). If you elect to purchase additional users, convert this license from Annual to Perpetual, or from Perpetual to Annual, at a later date, all other terms of this license will continue to apply.

xTuple reserves the right to audit your usage of the Software, and if you exceed this specified number of concurrent users on more than three occasions, you agree that this license will be amended to add such additional users as xTuple deems required by the audit. Such additional users will be added via Attachment A to this license, and will be billed to you at xTuple’s then-current published rates. If you determine independent of any xTuple audit that you require additional user licenses, you may notify xTuple via electronic mail, and such additional users will be billed to you at xTuple’s then-current published rates, less a courtesy discount of 10%.

3.2. Annual License. In exchange for the license granted in Section 2, you agree to pay to xTuple an initial annual license fee in the amount specified in your xTuple invoice.

You must pay the annual license fee upon execution of this license and each subsequent anniversary thereof (provided that you are not in breach). Software Maintenance (as defined in section 3.5 below) is included in the Annual License. Renewal pricing of the Annual License shall be at xTuple’s then-current published rates (including any published discounts) unless you hold a multi-year license agreement; xTuple will invoice you for the amount due, thirty days before the due date. If you do not wish to renew your Annual License, you must notify xTuple in writing at least sixty days prior to the anniversary date of this Agreement.

3.3. Perpetual License. In exchange for the license granted in Section 2, you agree to pay to xTuple a Perpetual License Fee, plus the first year’s Software Maintenance Fee, in the amount specified in your xTuple invoice. You must pay both fees upon execution of this license.

3.4. Monthly Billing Option. For either the Annual or Perpetual License, you may optionally choose to pay to xTuple a monthly Fee in the amount specified in your xTuple invoice. Payment for monthly billing is only by pre-authorized ACH bank account draft; you hereby authorize xTuple to debit your account the monthly Fee, with the first three months’ payment due on the Effective Date, and monthly payments on the same day of the month as the Effective Date, starting three months following the Effective Date. You acknowledge that this does not constitute a month-to-month contract, and represents a commitment for a full twelve months following the Effective Date, subject to all the other terms contained in this license. In the event that your account debit is declined, a $50 fee will be assessed, and you must provide alternate billing information within 72 hours of being notified by xTuple, or be subject to the Termination clause in section 11 below.

3.5. Software Maintenance. Customers who are current on their Annual License payments or current in the first year of their Perpetual License payment as defined above shall be entitled to receive all updates and enhancements to the Software released by xTuple. Updates and enhancements will be provided electronically. Software Maintenance payments are due and payable each year on the anniversary date of the Perpetual License Fee, at xTuple’s then-current published rates, unless you hold a multi-year maintenance agreement. If you do not wish to renew your Software Maintenance, you must notify xTuple in writing at least sixty days prior to the anniversary date of this Agreement. If more than twelve months have passed since a customer’s most recent Software Maintenance Fee payment, the customer will be deemed to be “Out of Maintenance,” and xTuple reserves the right to treat any further updates to the Software as entirely new license sales, subject to additional penalties and fees as explained on the xTuple website. Installation of updates and enhancements is not covered under this License Agreement (see section 6, below).
